The last ten minutes of Doom are hella fun though.

Simplifying is fine, especially with something as comlex as an Eco book, but they completely changed the ending to feelgood ****.

I watched it whole and I remember a sense of dreadful mediocrity and not a single thing else.

Not having read the book; the only thing that felt contrived to me to me was Connery's character
Spoiler for spoiler warning, I guess:
magically finding his way out of that huge burning tower despite all the stairs having collapsed.

I saw the special effects and didn't see any possible way it could have been anything other than absolute garbage. I'm just glad it wasn't a StarCraft movie so I wouldn't have to see my heart ripped out in front of me and ground into a fine powder.

I prefer the second Mortal Combat movie for a reason I've already explained.

TBH I don't remember much so my rants are probably 70% bull****.
Still go and read the book. It's glorious and Eco was one of the best writers of the 20th century.
